Bruges

So after France I went to Bruges (or possibly Brugge, depending on the language). It's a medieval town in northwest Belgium. The architecture it's quite lovely. There are also a lot of canals. Important sights include the belfry tower and the Church of Our Lady which holds the only sculpture by Michelangelo which left Italy while he was alive.

The market square.

When in Belgium, one must try Belgium fries. Belgian fries are fried twice so they are extra crispy and are often served with some sauce.



One must also try Belgium waffles and chocolate. Many of the streets smell like chocolate because there are so many chocolate stores.

They know what they're doing in Belgium.

There isn't too much to see in Bruges but I'd still recommended going for a few days.

Tomorrow last post about Amsterdam. It's already written and I'm hoping I did it correctly so that it automatically posts.
